    Curious if anyone has good methods for this. I used to have two parts boxes that I'd throw stuff in in a roughly categorical sense (flipper parts in these holes, lights in these), but as I start to accrue a larger variety of parts, often in weird shapes and sizes, this doesn't really work. Plus I've now got several hundred dollars of random electronic components that are also now outgrowing my original deck of drawers .. My thought for the electronics was just to not sort them out, and instead leave them in the original shipping box with the invoice; write the dates on the outsides of the boxes, and then just search my order history when I need to find a part, but pinball parts aren't as easily searchable... And then I've just got this large box of used, but 'reusable in an emergency' parts that I rifle through sometimes. And you've got to take into account which parts you want to be able to bring with you if you go to work on someone's machine. Is there some good software for keeping track of quantities or anything like that? What's your strategy?
